Benton County Sheriff Asking For Public's Help In Thefts and Burglary

Benton County Sheriff Brad Bennett is looking for the public’s help with a recent theft of 60 stolen wheels and tires from Luther Honda of St. Cloud.

Investigators learned the theft occurred during the overnight hours of November 15 at the Honda dealership, located in Sauk Rapids. The five spoke, 16, 17, and 18-inch wheels and tires were taken from 15 Honda vehicles parked in the lot.

The Sheriff is also asking for the public’s help on a burglary from Mimbach Fleet Supply in Sauk Rapids.

On October 13 a snowmobile trailer, a pull-behind lawn mower and lawn vacuum attachment were all taken from an outdoor fenced in area.

Authorities did recover surveillance footage from the scene.

The truck is described as a dark colored, new model pickup truck. The pickup had a matching topper along with chrome running boards. The truck also had light colored fender flares and a thin pin stripe running the length of the truck.

Investigators say two men gained entry to the fenced-in area of Mimbach Fleet Supply by cutting the gate lock, then drove off with the stolen items.
